Good move.  Yearly releases with little changes is an unsustainable business model, IMO.  Why buy new when a year old used one performs just as well?

I am really glad that they decided to go this route, while they do make great products and they live up to their name a yearly release is just too much.  Their new ones are doing great and the demand is there but eventually they are going to be a point where they don't have the innovation to make a new marker worth the price tag because there is only so much you can upgrade.

My guess on their next idea will be the elimination of the macro and go with the in-marker air system.

Hahah well get a Geo 2 instead of a Geo 2.1 and you will be good.  Or you could just pick up an original Geo with the GST and GSR kits in them and you will be in good shape Smiley
